I have my doubts that viruses can count, much less do multiplication.
Almost anything is worth trying, though!

The problem is that they are multiplying too quickly

They can certainly multiply.

Please ... a little detail on the process you used to find this, or what motivated you to find/compute this.

Sorry to disappoint you that I did not compute this. Just got it in a WhatsApp forward. Cross-checked the calculation and shared it here.
My mistake that I did not attribute it to WhatsApp University.

I always wonder why we say this. I am sure that apart from the odd troll or terrorist, no one would not wish this for others, even those we do not know.

I guess it's a "I'm alive, and I'm glad you are too" kind of thing: we say it with Birthdays, Anniversaries, religious festivals (regardless of religion or beliefs) and it's not really about the occasion so much as a "social acceptable" way to say we love our friends.
That's my thinking on it, anyway. I could well be wrong, I have been before ...

Thank you. My wishes for a great year for all the CPers.

We twa hae paidlet i’ the burn
Frae morning sun sill dine
But seas between us braid hae roar’d
Sin auld lang syne
We two have paddled in the stream
from morning untill noon
but oceans now lie between us
since those days now in the past
For auld lang syne, my Dear
For auld lang syne
We’ll tak a cup o kindness yet
For auld lang syne
For days now in the past, my dear
For days now in the past
We’ll drink a toast of kind remembrance
For days now in the past
And there’s a hand, my trusty feire
And gie’s a hand o’ thine
And we’ll tak a right gude-willie waught
For auld lang syne
So take my hand, my trusty friend
and give me your hand
and we will take a hearty drink together
In memory of those days now in the past

Despite the fireworks prohibition it's sh*tty-sh*tty-bang-bang again over here in the Netherlands

They are just trying to scare evil spirits away. Not that it works, because I'm still here. Only my remaining fireworks are gone now.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

I wish the ers would stop. My dog freaks out during thunderstorms and bouts of loud outdoor noises.

Nary a "bang", "whizzzzzz", or "flashzhzhzhzh" around here last night - and I don't recall seeing them on sale either.
Definitely a good thing: the cat normally gets freaked by them even with Feliway.

I'll try to send my neighbor over to your place next new years. He does enough fireworks for all of us.

He probably buys them early, and stores them in his garage.
Just sayin'.
Not advocating an early ignition while he's at work ... :InnocentWhistleSmiley:

More than I ever remember here. Pretty much continuous between 9pm and 1am. God knows where the "Essential Fireworks" shop is; and so does everyone else, it seems. Either that or they've had them all tucked under the bed for a few months; a scary thought. And oddly, there were a huge number of "essential journeys" made shortly after midnight this morning.
To be fair, I suppose some people would normally have gone to an organised event but this year just did their own thing.
One thing's for sure, though; despite what you hear on the news, people don't seem to be hard up - they literally have (lots of) money to burn.
